We finally have internet, so I feel now is a good time to post about our move to Glendale! The last week before our move was an absolutely crazy time, and I am SO glad that part of our move is over! We moved on June 9th, so on June 8th, my wonderful sisters and friend Malina, came to help us clean the apartment! We got something that would have taken me all day, finished in just a few short hours. Plus, we got to spend time together. There were some teary goodbyes to my sister, Becky. It was the last time we were able to see her before the move. I also had my last appointment with Dr. Lamb. I then had to go back to the dermatologist to have stitches removed from a mole I had taken off. After we finished cleaning, we just hung out in our old place for a few hours, mostly packing the last few valuables in the car. After wards, Andy went to have dinner with an old mission companion and Will and I had dinner with one of my best friends and favorite volunteers, Lisa. (Hawaiian BBQ, yum!) When Andy got home, we shut off the lights and headed to his parents house, where we were staying the night. They were going to make the drive with us, so it only made sense to stay there...seeing as there was a bed at their house and not one at ours. When we finally got there (around 10pm) Our sister, Cassie, was there with her little girl, Kenadie. We had fun hanging out with them, even though Andy, his Dad and brother, Jake, spent most of the time reorganizing the car. After Cassie left, we all got ready for bed and tried to sleep. I think we were all so exhausted, we conked right out! We decided to take a late start in the morning, since we were up so late the night before. It was quite an exciting night! I decided I wanted to shower before going to bed. I had just cleaned a yucky house most of the day. While in the shower, the band-aid I was wearing from the dermatologists came off. So, I just left it off. I thought everything would be fine with it. After showering and having my shot, I went to give hugs to everyone. I had my hair wrapped in a towel, and the towel had my ear in it, just a little. When I went to give hugs, it must have been wrapped just enough to get tugged on because my incision popped right open! So much for the stitches! I had to butterfly bandage it up and sleep on the opposite ear!
Ok...so, to the actual move. We left around 830 on Thursday morning. We stopped at Subway for breakfast and hit the road. We were making pretty great time! It helps when you don't have any little people who need to go potty (which we're working on...that's for another time though) We stopped a couple times for gas and to just stretch out our legs (mostly mine, which kept swelling up from sitting so much) We had lunch in Hatch at the Adobe Deli. Yummy! We almost didn't go there though. Andy and his Dad were chatting so much, the completely missed the exit and didn't realize it for quite a while. Luckily, we HAD to go through Hatch to take the route we wanted, so we back tracked. I tend to get car sick on long rides. I usually fall asleep on trips so I don't end up sick. I slept most of the time after lunch and didn't wake up again until we were already in Arizona! We stopped at a Maverick for gas and I couldn't believe how hot it already was! Driving through Arizona was pretty uneventful. We made it in about 930pm, which is 1030pm in Utah time. It was still HOT outside! When we woke the next morning around 8, it was already 86 degrees outside! We were able to get all of our things moved in and we are pretty much unpacked. We are taking our sweet time because we are going to move to a different apartment in the same complex for a better view and more shade. We've spent most of our time unpacking, going to the pool, playing Mario Cart and watching movies. Will has had a hard time adjusting. We've had lots of time-outs around here. He doesn't like to eat the dinners I cook...it's been a long time since I have cooked! haha We have a really great ward and are excited about this adventure. We do feel pretty alone and miss family and friends dearly. We're excited to go to Sierra Vista on July 1st for a week to spend time with my Aunt Maureen and Uncle Jack. They are the closest family we have and we are excited to get to spend time with them! Andy doesn't start school until August, we're going to spend as much time together as we can...then he'll go MIA once school starts!
We're loving AZ and loving even more that we are getting tans!!

Fun in Bryce
This past weekend, we spent time camping and being with family. This is Will with his two cute cousins, Kenadie and Melanie. They spent a lot of time together playing in Uncle Steve's truck bed.
Our family spent two days exploring Bryce Canyon National Park. This is Natural Bridge. It's not really a natural bridge, because there is no water that flows under it. It's an arch, like you would find in Arches. But, then again...Bryce Canyon isn't a real canyon.
This is a tree that is growing on the Navajo Loop Trail. It has no branches until it reaches the top of the slot canyon, and then it has branches a leaves. It was such a sight to behold. We did this hike. It was so fun. And even being pregnant, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. We did end up stopping about every 20 feet so I wouldn't run out of breath or start getting cramps.
This is our cute family (all FOUR of us!) at the entrance to Bryce Canyon. It was May 30 and the high was 45. It was pretty chilly and super windy. We came home with dry skin and wind burn.
Here is Will playing on a bench at one of the stops. This was the day is was super cold. The cliff off the side of the points are unforgiving. I was a nervous wreck anytime Will would go to the fence. With my vivid Mommy Imagination, it was not a pretty sight. But, this sweet face is just amazing!
We really enjoyed our last hoorah here in Utah. It was great to be able to take a break from life and just hang out with our family, while seeing some of the beauty Utah has to offer. Our camp site was at my brother-inlaw's cabin. In the middle of no where! And I loved it! It's totally my kind of spot! Andy, Will and I loved spending days together, uninterrupted from the phones, or tv, or computer! We are sad to be leaving Utah and our families. We are excited for this new journey in our lives and look forward to whatever The Lord has in store for us!

Azerbaijan spring a surprise in Warnemünde
Ukraine were also winners in Division A while England and Romania lead the way in the second tier.
Azerbaijan and Ukraine pulled clear in Division A on day one of the Warnemunde stage of the Euro Beach Soccer League while, in the second tier, there were wins for England and Romania.
A Maksym Voitok brace was the difference for Ukraine as they beat Italy 3-2 to boost their chances of making the Superfinal in Terracina next month.
Voitok scored twice in the final frame as Ukraine moved joint top of a fledgling group in Warnemünde, leaving Italy - ensured a place at the Superfinal as hosts - with work to do if they are to lift the title this weekend.
Azerbaijan earlier ensured themselves a place in next year's Euro Beach Soccer League Division A by upsetting hosts Germany in Warnemünde with a 3-0 win.
The Azeri - promoted last year - condemned Greece to take part in the Promotion Final this time around as Orkhan Mammadov, Sabir Allahguliyev and Amid Nazarov wrapped up a clinical win.
England got their Euro Beach Soccer League campaign up and running with a 9-4 win against Division B opponents Lithuania.
Carl Dixon's men move to three points along with Romania in the second tier with Aaron Clarke's five-goal haul helping to bolster England's hopes of earning a place at the Promotion Final.
Romania also made a winning start to the fifth and final normal stage in Germany as they overcame the Netherlands 8-4 in a thrilling contest.
Both sides remain in with a chance of reaching the Promotion Final in September but it was Romania who picked up early points as four goals from Ionut Florea ensured victory.

Acronyms....LCFF / LCAP what are they?
|Posted on February 16, 2014 at 10:40 PM
|comments (3)
Local Control Financial Funding: The goal of the LCFF is to simplify how state funding is provided to local educational agencies (LEAs). Under the new funding system, revenue limits and most state categorical programs are eliminated. LEAs will receive funding based on the demographic profile of the students they serve and gain greater flexibility to use these funds to improve outcomes of students. The LCFF creates funding targets based on these student characteristics. For school districts and charter schools, the LCFF funding targets consist of grade span-specific base grants plus supplemental and concentration grants that reflect student demographic factors. For county offices of education (COEs), the LCFF funding targets consist of an amount for COE operations plus grants for instructional programs.
Local Control and Accountability Plans: The LCAP is an important component to LCFF. Under the LCFF all LEAs are required to prepare an LCAP, which describes how they intend to meet annual goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities identified pursuant to EC Section 52060(d). The governing board of each LEA shall adopt an LCAP on or before July 1, 2014. The law requires the SBE to adopt the LCAP template for LEA use before March 31, 2014.
Governor Brown highlighted the Local Control Funding Formula, which gives local schools the flexibility to spend funds where they need it. This, he said, will greatly benefity low-income students and English Learners. Each local district now has to put into practice wht the Local Contrl Funding Formula has made possible. That, together with new common core standards for Math and English, will be a major challenge for teachers and local administrators.
What is your view on this?

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support
|Posted on January 26, 2014 at 11:30 AM
|comments (0)
Schools around the nation are now using PBIS which offers a schoolwide approach to improving student behavior. PBIS has been around for over five years. More than 7,000 schools nationwide have adopted the approach. So what is this PBIS really all about? Well according to the PBIS website, it's about improving student academic and behavior outcomes, by ensuring all students have access to the most effective and accurately implemented instructional and behavioral practices and interventions possible.
Basically, PBIS is teaching positive behavior throughout the school, especially the "hotspot" areas. Positive behavior is not taught in 15 minutes on the first day of school, but rather is introduced at the beginning of school, and reinforced throughout the year. Part of the PBIS model of reinforcement comes from acknowledging and rewarding appropriate behavior.
Ideally, should have a PBIS team, which consists of a student representative from each grade level, a teacher from each department, and an administrator. They should meet monthly to review its disciplinary data and determine its next steps. Implementing PBIS and changing a school's disciplinary culture are not easy. There has to be a significant buy-in from administrators, and teachers.
Some of the advantages of implementing PBIS are that students are more engaged, and responsive. It addresses classroom management and disciplinary issues such as attendance, tardies, and antisocial behavior. Improves supports for students whose behaviors require more specialized assistance, e.g., emotional and behavioral disorders, mental health, and most importantly, maximizes academic engagement and achievement for all students.
Of course, there are disadvantages and misconceptions about PBIS. There is the misconception that PBIS only allows for positive reinforcement and not for other forms of consequences. Secondly, positive reinforcement is only allowed to be given in tangible goods, not in less tangible forms of praise. Teachers are asked to handle more minor disciplinary incidents in the classroom rather than sending students to the principal's office.

Long Term English Learners
|Posted on January 11, 2014 at 4:20 PM
|comments (0)
Who are Long Term English Learners (LTELs)? Thes are students who have been enrolled in United States schools for more than six years. They do not have the English skills needed for academic success, and there are major academic gaps in their elementary and even middle school years. How do these students become LTELs? The majority of secondary school English Learners are LTELs, and English Learners who enroll in Kindergarten have a 50% chance of becoming an LTEL. What are the circumstances that contribute towards ELs becoming LTELs? In some cases, English Learners received no language development support. At the elementary schools, curricular may not be designed for ELLs. By the time LTELs arrive in secondary schools, there are significant academic gaps. They have very weak academic language, with little reading and writing skills. The majority of LTELs tend to be stuck at the "Intermediate" level of the California English Language Development Test (CELDT) or below. These students have now developed habits of non-engagement, invisibility, and passivity. Counselors tend to inappropriately place LTELs in mainstream classes, because 'it's convenient to follow the school's Master Schedule of classes'. A major misconception is "English Learners don't need special curriculum, services, or instruction." Research has shown that English Learners do need instruction and materials to be adapted and supplemented to address the language barrier. Oral language development is particularly important for English Learners.

"The primary cause of the accident derives from a host of discrepancies [sic] in stark contrast to DOCCS lawful comportment under the care, custody and control doctrine(s)" (Ex. A attached to Affirmation of Assistant Attorney General G. Lawrence Dillon, Esq. [hereinafter, "Dillon Affirmation"]).
The Claim was filed with the Office of the Clerk of the Court on February 11, 2016 by Claimant's counsel.(2) The Claim was served upon Defendant by certified mail, return receipt requested on January 22, 2016 (Dillon Affirmation, ¶ 9). The Claim asserts that, at about 1:15 p.m. on November 1, 2015, Claimant was in the weight shack area located in the yard at Marcy, when he was caused to trip and fall over an uneven, unsecured, rubber mat. It is asserted that the defect in the weight shack caused Claimant to be injured by reason of the negligence, recklessness, and carelessness of Defendant in failing to properly maintain the weight shack, in allowing the floor of the weight shack and mat to become uneven, raised, depressed, deteriorated, and/or in a state of disrepair and/or improper repair, in failing to inspect the weight shack, and in permitting and allowing a trap, hazard and nuisance to exist for an excessive and unreasonable period of time (Claim, ¶ 3).
Pursuant to the Court of Claims Act provisions applicable to personal injury actions, Claimant was required to file and serve his Claim within 90 days from the date of accrual unless a written Notice of Intention to File a Claim was served upon the Attorney General within such time period. In that case, the Claim itself was required to be filed and served upon the Attorney General within two years after the accrual of the Claim (Court of Claims Act §§ 10[3]). In either case, Claimant was required to initiate action within 90 days of the Claim's accrual. If the Notice of Intention is defective, it does not extend Claimant's time to serve and file the Claim and, thus, the Claim filed with the Clerk of the Court on February 11, 2016 would be untimely.
Court of Claims Act § 11(b) requires that, "[t]he claim shall state the time when and place where such claim arose, the nature of same, and the items of damage or injuries claimed to have been sustained and … the total sum claimed" (see Demonstoy v State of New York, 130 AD3d 1337 [3d Dept 2015]). The statute further states that a Notice of Intention to file a claim "shall set forth the same matters except that the items of damage or injuries and the sum claimed need not be stated."
Defendant asserts that the Notice of Intention fails to meet the specificity requirements of Court of Claims Act § 11(b) because "[t]here is no cognizable cause of action alleged in the Notice of Intention" and also that "there is no geographic description of where the alleged action took place other than 'weight shack area located in the yard' " (Dillon Affirmation, ¶ 8).
Pursuant to Court of Claims Act § 11(c), however, any such defect is waived unless it is raised with particularity as an affirmative defense either by motion to dismiss prior to service of the responsive pleading, or in the responsive pleading itself (see Knight v State of New York, 177 Misc 2d 181, 183 [Ct Cl 1998]).
Defendant, in its Answer served and filed on February 19, 2016, asserts, among its affirmative defenses, that the Court lacks jurisdiction because the Claim fails to include an adequate description of the location of the incident (fifth affirmative defense), or the condition that caused the incident (sixth affirmative defense), and fails to include an adequate particularization of the nature of the cause of action (seventh affirmative defense). The Court notes that the affirmative defenses attack the sufficiency of the Claim only. Defendant did not posit similar affirmative defenses that the Notice of Intention to File a Claim, likewise, failed to comply with Court of Claims Act § 11 with regard to its adequacy, sufficiency, or specificity.
Thus, the question posed is whether Defendant raised those affirmative defenses with sufficient particularity to preserve them pursuant to Court of Claims Act § 11(c).
Judge Leonard Silverman of this Court set forth a concise summary of what "particularity" must mean in this situation in Fowles v State of New York (152 Misc 2d 837, 840 [Ct Cl 1991]):
For a statement to be sufficiently particular it must give notice of the transaction or occurrence intended to be proven and the material elements of it (CPLR 3013; Meese v Miller, 79 AD2d 237). The primary purpose of a pleading is to advise the adverse party of a claim or defense (Lane v Mercury Record Corp., 21 AD2d 602, affd 18 NY2d 889). The pleading must provide notice and not be just a label (Huntington Utils. Fuel Corp. v McLoughlin, 45 Misc 2d 79). A pleading must allege facts (Melito v Interboro-Mutual Indem. Ins. Co., 73 AD2d 819). The mere allegation of a legal conclusion in an affirmative defense is insufficient (Griffo v Tauriello, 23 Misc 2d 430).
Judge Silverman continued: "[a] claimant should not be left in a quandary to determine what an affirmative defense is referring to" (id.). In the Court's view, Defendant has failed to allege sufficient facts in its Motion to support either the sixth or seventh affirmative defenses. The Motion asserts that a deficient or an insufficient Notice of Intention was served and did not extend the time to serve and file the Claim (see Dillon Affirmation, ¶¶ 14-20). By contrast, the affirmative defenses assert perceived deficiencies in the Claim. Accordingly, the affirmative defenses raised in the State's Answer do not give Claimant notice of the transaction or occurrence intended to be proved, i.e., that the Notice of Intention, and not the Claim itself, failed to meet the particularity requirements of Court of Claims Act § 11 (b). The Court finds and concludes that the affirmative defenses were not raised with the particularity required by Court of Claims Act § 11(c), and did not preserve the defense of lack of subject matter and personal jurisdiction because the Notice of Intention was ineffective owing to the lack of particularity. Thus, the defense has been waived (see Hankins v State of New York, UID No. 2008-040-010 [Ct Cl, McCarthy, J., Feb. 25, 2008]). Accordingly, the State's Motion to dismiss is denied.
The Court now turns to the portion of Defendant's Motion that seeks summary judgment dismissing the Claim pursuant to CPLR 3212. Summary judgment is a drastic remedy to be granted sparingly and only where no material issue of fact is demonstrated in the papers related to the motion (see Crowley's Milk Co. v Klein, 24 AD2d 920 [3d Dept 1965]; Wanger v Zeh, 45 Misc 2d 93 [Sup Ct, Albany County 1965], affd 26 AD2d 729 [3d Dept 1966]). "The proponent of a summary judgment motion must make a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, tendering sufficient evidence to eliminate any material issues of fact from the case" (Winegrad v New York Univ. Med. Center, 64 NY2d 851, 853 [1985]; see Alvarez v Prospect Hosp., 68 NY2d 320, 324 [1986]; Sillman v Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp., 3 NY2d 395, 404 [1957]). "Failure to make such prima facie showing requires a denial of the motion, regardless of the sufficiency of the opposing papers" (Alvarez v Prospect Hosp., supra at 324; see Winegrad v New York Univ. Med. Center, supra at 853).
"[W]hen the State acts in a proprietary capacity as a landlord, it is subject to the same principles of tort law as is a private landlord" (Miller v State of New York, 62 NY2d 506, 511 [1984]). Accordingly, while the State is not an insurer of those who enter upon its premises, and negligence cannot be inferred solely from the occurrence of an accident (see McMullen v State of New York, 199 AD2d 603, 604 [3d Dept 1993]; Tripoli v State of New York, 72 AD2d 823, 823 [3d Dept 1979]), it does have a common-law duty to maintain its facilities "in a reasonably safe condition in view of all the circumstances, including the likelihood of injury to others, the seriousness of the injury, and the burden of avoiding the risk," with foreseeability constituting the measure of liability (Basso v Miller, 40 NY2d 233, 241 [1976], quoting Smith v Arbaugh's Rest., 469 F2d 97, 100 [DC Cir. 1973], cert denied 412 US 939 [1973]; see Galindo v Town of Clarkstown, 2 NY3d 633, 636 [2004]).
In order to prevail on a motion for summary judgment, Defendant must show, prima facie, that it maintained its premises in a reasonably safe condition and that it did not create, or have actual or constructive notice, of the allegedly dangerous condition (Black v Kohl's Dept. Stores, Inc., 80 AD3d 958, 959 [3d Dept 2011]; Cietek v Bountiful Bread of Stuyvesant Plaza, Inc., 74 AD3d 1628, 1629 [3d Dept 2010]). "To constitute constructive notice, a defect must be visible and apparent and it must exist for a sufficient length of time prior to the accident to permit [D]efendant's employees to discover and remedy it" (Gordon v American Museum of Natural History, 67 NY2d 836, 837 [1986]; Anderson v Skidmore Coll., 94 AD3d 1203, 1204 [3d Dept 2012]).
Whether a dangerous condition exists, so as to create liability depends upon the facts and circumstances of each case and is generally a question for the fact finder (Trincere v County of Suffolk, 90 NY2d 976, 977 [1997]; Moons v Wade Lupe Const. Co., Inc., 24 AD3d 1005, 1006 [3d Dept 2005]).
In support if its Motion, the State has submitted, inter alia, Assistant Attorney General Dillon's Affirmation. Counsel states that Claimant testified at his deposition conducted on August 18, 2016 that, during the 12 months prior to the accident, he had used the weight shack on average three times per week, or 12 times per month (Dillon Affirmation, ¶ 21 & Ex. E [pp. 16-17] attached). Claimant also testified that he had used the weight shack during the preceding year without ever tripping and falling. He did not see any other inmate trip and fall in the weight shack during that year prior to the accident (id., ¶ 22 & Ex. E [pp. 46-47] attached). Claimant further testified that he had never filed a grievance, or otherwise alerted anyone, about concerns of a safety hazard/tripping in the weight shack (id., ¶ 23 & Ex. E [pp. 47, 54] attached). Daniel Deyo, a Recreation Program Leader II, and the civilian in charge of the weight area, also was deposed (id., ¶ 25 & Ex. G attached). He stated that, prior to Claimant's incident, he did not receive any complaints concerning inmates tripping on the edges of the mats in the weight shack (id. & Ex. G [pp. 17-18 & 36-37] attached)(3) .
Following the accident, the facility investigated the incident, which resulted in the creation of an Unusual Incident Report (Dillon Affirmation, ¶ 26 & Ex. F [unnumbered pp. 2-5] attached). The Report recites that Claimant "reported to staff that he tripped over a weight bar and injured his left lower leg" (id., Ex. F [unnumbered p. 2]). Also included in Exhibit F is a memorandum by Sgt. T. McNaney relating that "[w]hile he was being treated[,] I interviewed Inmate Edgerton[,] who stated that he was stepping over a weight bar when he hooked his toe under a weight plate and tripped over a weight bar[,] twisting his left leg and falling on his right shoulder" (id., Ex. F [unnumbered p. 7]). After the accident, Claimant was taken to the prison infirmary where he was examined by Nurse Wilcox. She generated an "Inmate Injury Report" (Ex. 1 included in Ex. E [Claimant's Deposition Transcript] attached to the Dillon Affirmation). That document contains Claimant's inmate statement that reads, "Tripped and fell over wgts in the yard twisting and falling on my leg." The report indicates that Claimant could not sign because he was "cuffed-unable." The reporting officer is Sgt. Thomas McNaney (Dillon Affirmation, ¶ 27).
During his deposition, Claimant reviewed the Report. Mr. Edgerton testified that he was examined by the nurse and that they had a conversation about the incident. He agreed that the statement attributed to him in the Inmate Injury Report is correct, however, he also said that the statement is incomplete. He testified that he further stated that a piece of black rubber matting caused him to fall (Dillon Affirmation, ¶ 28, referring to Ex. E [pp. 30-31]).(4)
Defendant asserts that the Claim should be dismissed as Claimant will be unable to demonstrate that there was any dangerous condition that the State had actual or constructive notice of the condition, or that Defendant failed to act reasonably to remedy it (see Gordon v American Museum of Natural History, supra). Defendant asserts it is undisputed that there was no prior accident history of tripping on the mats in the weight shack which might have placed Defendant on notice of a possible hazard. Furthermore, the State posits that there was no constructive notice. Defendant further asserts that the mats were readily observable by the reasonable use of one's senses, so there was no duty to warn (Dillon Affirmation, ¶¶ 29-31).
In opposition to the Motion, Claimant's counsel refers to Claimant's deposition testimony that the Inmate Injury Report does not include Claimant's statement that a piece of black rubber matting had caused him to trip and fall. Although he landed on the weights, the reason he tripped was due to the raised mat (Affirmation of Jeremy Schiowitz, Esq. [hereinafter, "Schiowitz Affirmation"], ¶ 21 & Ex. A [p. 31] attached).
At his deposition, Claimant was asked to review the photographs of the weight shack. He testified that the photos were of the weight shack, however, he stated it was cleaned up prior to the photographs being taken as "it's never like this" (Schiowitz Affirmation, Ex. A [p. 35]). When he was shown the photographs marked as Exhibits 6 and 7 (included in Ex. E attached to the Dillon Affirmation), which depict a mat overlapping onto another mat, and asked whether it appeared like this on the date of the accident, he answered that it looked similar, but that the mat he tripped over was raised a little higher than the one depicted in the photographs (id., ¶ 22, Ex. A [p. 38]). Claimant testified that his right foot got caught on the edge of this overlapping mat, which caused him to fall forward and hit his left leg against a barbell on the floor that resulted in his injury (id., ¶ 23 & Ex. A [pp. 38-39]).
Claimant also refers to the deposition testimony of Mr. Deyo, the employee in charge of the weight shack. He testified that the mats are not a uniform size, so they are placed together as closely as possible, which sometimes results in overlapping. Despite this, he never had any discussions with anyone concerning replacing mats which were not the proper size and were, therefore, overlapping onto adjacent mats (Schiowitz Affirmation, ¶ 25, Ex. B [pp. 18-19] attached).
Mr. Deyo was shown the photograph marked as Exhibit 7 (included in Ex. E attached to the Dillon Affirmation), which depicts the edge of one mat on top of an adjacent mat, and was asked whether that constituted a tripping hazard. Mr. Deyo answered "I suppose so" (Schiowitz Affirmation, ¶ 26 & Ex. B [p. 25] attached). He was also shown the photograph marked as Exhibit 6 and agreed that the mat which was sticking up, even when it was not overlapping, constituted a tripping hazard "[a]s much as a stone would" (id., ¶ 27 & Ex. B [p. 25-26] attached).
The witness also agreed that the fact some of the mats may have been overlapping or had their corners or edges raised would be a typical condition inside the weight shack (id., ¶ 28 & Ex. E [p. 26] attached).
Correction Officer Keith Burch also was deposed. He is a Correction Officer at Marcy and was on duty at his post near the weight shack on the date Claimant was injured. He testified that, from time to time prior to date of the accident, he had seen mats inside the weight shack whose edges were overlapping onto mats next to them, like those depicted in the photograph that was marked as Exhibit 5 included in Defendant's Exhibit E (Schiowitz Affirmation, ¶ 30 & Ex. C [p. 11] attached).
Attached to the Schiowitz Affirmation as Exhibit D is a copy of the Affidavit of Luis Davila (hereinafter, "Davila Affidavit') in which he stated that he began serving a six-month sentence at Marcy in June or July, 2015, and, from that time, exercised in the weight shack almost daily where he noticed that several mats overlapped one another and even stuck up a little, causing a trip hazard (Davila Affidavit, ¶ 2). He also asserted that the weight shack in general was not maintained properly (id.). He further stated that, on the date of the accident, he was in the weight shack, and that he witnessed Claimant Kerry Edgerton "trip and fall in the weight area due to one of the aforementioned mats overlapping onto another mat and sticking up another inch or so. The mat itself was about an inch thick and it was sticking up another inch. It was therefore about two inches above the mat beneath it. I saw [Claimant's] foot trip on this mat causing him to fall hard on to some exercise equipment" (Davila Affidavit, ¶ 3). Mr. Davila helped Claimant up and eventually escorted him over to the correction officers. He and Claimant then boarded a facility van and headed to the infirmary (id., ¶ 4). Mr. Davila further stated that "[t]he mat that caused [Claimant] to trip was overlapping another mat and sticking up so that it was about two inches higher than that mat below it and was in that condition for at least several months prior to this accident. I know it was in that condition for several months because I exercised in that area regularly for several months prior to the accident" (id., ¶ 5).
Thus, the Court concludes that a question of fact exists as to what caused Claimant to fall and whether Defendant created the condition, or had actual or constructive notice of the condition prior to the accident.
The Court finds and concludes, based upon the submissions of the parties, that questions of fact exist which preclude granting Defendant summary judgment dismissing the Claim. The Court concludes that Defendant has failed to make a showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, tendering sufficient evidence to eliminate any material issues of fact from the case. Thus, Defendant's Motion for summary judgment is denied.

I'll miss school life. How its so easy, without as much work to do. But hey, everyone grows up eventually, don't they?
Its all SO good...
I didn't want to blog about my last day today. I wanted to write about something else. About someone I know. Someone who I haven't known for long, but perhaps, maybe I've known her forever. From some other life. Or maybe from some other dimension. Must be something. No one can just click so fast. There must be something, some sort of connection.
It all happened so fast, and is happening fast. I don't know if I can control it, or even if I want to. Who knows of tomorrow? Live like there's no tomorrow. Make the most out of any opportunity you get. You never know, tomorrow may be something you never expected.
Yeah, I'm never expressive face-to-face. Not as much anyway. But here is one place where I can let it all out. Emotions, feelings, blaaah deee booo. Everything. All I want to say right now, is that what happened today is indescribable. I don't know if there are words. If there are, I wish my vocabulary was that widespread, so I'd be able to describe it. Or maybe the words just haven't been invented yet.
I just know that I loved every bit of it.

Supervalu throws in $1 million in support of youth sports
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Supervalu on Tuesday announced its commitment of $1 million to sponsor 1,542 youth sports teams in markets where its banners operate.
"Because diet and exercise are important to well-being, we saw this sponsorship as a complement to our focus on helping our shoppers eat well and a nice way to support stronger — and healthier — neighborhoods," stated Shelly Nelson, Supervalu corporate director of strategic media services.
The sponsorships, which began last spring, have helped to offset the cost of local youth baseball and soccer programs for kids between the ages of 4 years and 10 years. All told, the sponsorships have supported 1,542 teams — 761 baseball teams and 781 soccer teams — enabling more than 20,000 kids with the opportunity to participate in sports.
New research sheds light on link between makeup, perception of attractiveness
CINCINNATI — Color cosmetics use can impact judgments of attractiveness and character, according to new research.
The two studies — which were conducted by Procter & Gamble's Beauty and Grooming division and lead investigator Nancy Etcoff, assistant clinical professor at Harvard and associate researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital department of psychiatry — included 100 photos of 25 women's faces (ages 20 to 50 years, who self-identified as Hispanic, Caucasian or African-American), which were judged without makeup and with three different applied makeup looks that included varying levels of light to dark makeup shades (referred to as "luminous contrast"), which informally were classified as "natural," "professional" and "glamorous," respectively.
In the first study, 149 adults (61 men and 88 women) of different ages and ethnicities, were shown all three makeup looks for 250 milliseconds. The three makeup looks realized increased ratings of attractiveness, competence, likability and trust, compared with the ratings of the same faces without makeup. Additionally, in the second study, which included 119 adults (30 males and 89 females) of different ages and ethnicities, who had unlimited time to inspect the faces, gave both the natural and professional makeup looks increased ratings of attractiveness, competence, likability and trust, whereas the glamorous look, which had the highest luminous contrast, was judged to be equally likable, significantly more attractive and competent, but less trustworthy, compared with women without makeup.
All participants saw the faces in a randomized sequence, the researchers noted.
"Researchers have studied first impressions of innate facial characteristics, such as facial symmetry, but until now, no research has rigorously examined the role that applied beauty or features of the extended human phenotype, such as makeup and hair color, play in perception of beauty, personality and character at first glance and longer inspection," Etcoff said. "For the first time, we have found that applying makeup has an effect beyond increasing attractiveness — it impacts first impressions and overall judgments of perceived likeability, trustworthiness, and competence. In today's world of self-portraits appearing on networking and dating websites, ballots, resumes and applications, the results of the study have broad implications."
"Collaborating with global academic and industry experts has allowed P&G Beauty & Grooming scientists to transform cutting-edge color science into solutions for skin, cosmetic and hair color products," said Shekhar Mitra, SVP research and development at P&G Global Beauty and Grooming. "This fundamental research helps us better understand the motivations and desired beauty outcomes of our consumers and how to translate that knowledge into innovations that have a proven impact on perception."
Study: 3-in-4 cancer patients are vitamin D deficient
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — More than three-quarters of cancer patients have insufficient levels of vitamin D, and the lowest levels are associated with more advanced cancer, according to a study presented Oct. 2 at the 53rd Annual Meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology.
"Until recently, studies have not investigated whether vitamin D has an impact on the prognosis or course of cancer. Researchers are just starting to examine how vitamin D may impact specific features of cancer, such as the stage or extent of tumor spread, prognosis, recurrence or relapse of disease, and even subtypes of cancer," stated Thomas Churilla, lead author of the study and a medical student at the Commonwealth Medical College, Scranton, Pa.
The study involved 160 patients with a median age of 64 years split evenly between men and women. The five most common primary diagnoses were breast, prostate, lung, thyroid and colorectal cancer. A total of 77% of patients had vitamin D concentrations either deficient (less than 20 ng/mL) or suboptimal (20-30 ng/mL). The median serum vitamin D level was 23.5 ng/mL. Regardless of the age or sex of the patient, levels of vitamin D were below the median predicted for advanced stage disease in the patient group.
Patients who were found to be vitamin D deficient were administered replacement therapy, increasing serum D levels by an average of 14.9 ng/mL. Investigators will be analyzing if vitamin D supplementation had an impact on aspects of treatment or survival in the long-term.
"The benefits of vitamin D outside of improving bone health are controversial, yet there are various levels of evidence to support that vitamin D has a role in either the prevention or the prediction of outcome of cancer," Churilla said. "Further study is needed to continue to understand the relationship between vitamin D and cancer."

France uses E.coli scare to boost CAP
Mr Le Maire, who may become finance minister of Christine Lagarde goes to the IMF, called on member states to make a 'courageous and responsible decision' in negotiations over the budget for the CAP after 2013. In other words, minimal cuts.
This really is a presposterous and obnoxious piece of shroud waving. It would be perfectly possible to decide to maintain sanitary and phytosanitary spending whilst reducing the SFP.
Who compensates farmers and to what extent for the economic consequences of the E.coli scare remains to be seen. The amount available from the CAP has been topped up, but the question is how much cash strapped member state governments can afford, not least in Spain.
The German agriculture minister does not come out of this well. First, Germany went in to 'Club Med' mode, blaming it all on poor Spanish hygiene. Subsequently they have been unable to definitively identify the source of the outbreak.

- Family Inceptions Blog
This month, we're tackling fears and misconceptions about third party family building. This week's post is one that particularly gets me fired up because it's one of the biggest misconceptions in the industry. It's that third-party building is a "business transaction". Using that term and what it implies creates fear that would-be surrogates or would-be donors are being taken advantage of or used.
Of course, I can't speak for every agency, clinic or business that reaches out to these women asking them to help others build a family but to me, surrogacy and donating your eggs are nowhere near a simple business transaction. How can you call something a business transaction when it entails helping bring a human life into this world? Yes, finances are involved but again, let me repeat, what you're considering doing is helping create a human life. That is huge and meaningful.
If anything, it should be called a "Compassionate Commitment".
I think of this daily, if not several times a day, when I'm meeting with potential egg donors and/or gestational carriers. If a healthy woman who is an ideal egg donor candidate comes to me, and says anything along the lines of, "I'm not sure I can sell my baby" OR if an equally healthy woman who is an ideal gestational surrogate comes to me, and says anything close to, "I'm just in it for the money.", I will turn them down.
In the donor egg's case, I want them to not only feel comfortable with the process but to know fully and completely that you are donating your DNA, not your child. If you, on any level, feel an emotional attachment or like your eggs are your children, this is not for you. Again, while donors are paid, many truly care about helping a couple (gay, straight, single or married) to have a child of their own. Donating your eggs is giving these hopeful parents a chance to be a family and an ideal egg donor understands that and feels inspired to help them hope.
In terms of surrogates who solely care about the money, that says to me they are not fully committed to what lies ahead. When you do something "just for money", you are typically not emotionally invested and odds are you're going to do it half-heartedly. I immediately get concerned about how well you are going to take care of yourself and the baby.
Let me give you an example: Let's say you go to Starbucks and there's a barista there "just to get paid". They could care less about their job, will hand you a cup with the wrong name on it, the drink is incorrect, it doesn't taste right and when you ask about it, their demeanor (whether they say it out loud or not) is, "Who cares? I'm just here for the paycheck!" We've all had this experience, right? And conversely, we've all had a barista who cares quite a lot. One who knows your name, says hello, has your favorite drink memorized and takes care of who you are as a customer and a person.
When you're a surrogate, you are carrying a human being – a life. That's so much more than "just a paycheck" to the intended parents. Once you decide that you're going to be a part of bringing someone into this world, while the money is nice, ideally, you care intensely about the "compassionate commitment' you've made to those parents.
It's understandable to have fears when considering doing either egg donation or surrogacy. I have been both and I've had my share of feeling like I wasn't treated as well as I should have been. It's beyond important to ask questions, advocate for yourself and in my experience, work with a reputable agency who will have your back and ensure a solid match.
Ultimately though, if you're working with someone that understands and agrees that this is so much more than a paycheck, then chances are you're very much in the right hands.

NGMSport got their 2017 season underway at the weekend with a trip to Silverstone for round 1 of the Dunlop Britcar Endurance Championship. With Javier Morcillo and Manuel Cintrano taking the wheel of the Mosler for their 6th assault on the championship time since 2011.
The championship appears to be back to full health following several years of depleted grids and this weekend fielded a grid of 32 cars on the shortened Silverstone International circuit. Among the challengers were a number of Ferrari 458's including a GT3 and a GTE as well as an Aston Martin Vantage GT3. The quality of the cars was matched by the quality of the drivers so Morcillo and Cintrano would face one of the toughest fields yet.
For the Spaniards however it was business as usual as they claimed their first pole position of the year, 0.278 seconds ahead of the Ferrari 458 GTE of Witt Gamski and Ross Wylie. In race 1 Morcillo started and led from the start and kept the lead until his pit stop on lap 26. Cintrano emerged back into the lead but was faced with the challenge of keeping Mike Wilds and Dino Zamparelli at bay. On lap 38 and with just 5 laps remaining of the 50 minute race, Cintrano succumbed and brought the Mosler home in P2 ahead of Gamski and Wylie.
Race 2 saw Cintrano take the start and a cautious approach into turn 1 saw him drop a couple of places before settling down into a comfortable P4. Lap 38 brought out a safety car which the team capitalized on by completing 3 pit stops which allowed them to fuel the car to the end whilst losing minimal time. The strategy put Morcillo 5 laps down at the end of the safety car period but as other pit stops shook out he gained 3 laps but disaster came on lap 64 when an ambitious move past the GTE Ferrari which was 2 laps behind the Mosler saw Morcillo tipped into the gravel.
Despite the disappointment the team were happy with the pace of the Mosler against the newer cars and are looking forward to a strong season.

Содержание статьи/Article:
Most researchers basic condition providing productivity of system innovations in educational institution, are inclined to consider innovative potential of the organization. The innovation potential of the organization is a complex entity, by which is meant the totality of conditions and resources for the successful implementation and the development of innovative processes. The innovation potential of the organization includes:
- the innovation potential of the head;
- the innovation potential of the community;
- social, material, social and cultural conditions;
– conformity of structure and the management maintenance in educational institution to mastered innovations [1. P.24].
The main component of this system of conditions is the innovative potential of the person of the head of educational institution. The innovative potential of personality of leader of educational institutions is made up of professional competence, the readiness for the organization of innovative activity, presence of requirement for innovative activity, the system of personal and business leadership qualities of the head [1. P.25].
The general structure of innovative potential of the person is considered in the modern literature from the point of view of laws of functioning of motivational, emotionally-strong-willed, informative spheres, and also individual psychological features of the subject of activity. One of the most important components is the cognitive sphere and, in particular, system of subjective representations of the person about essence of innovative activity, psychological features of participants of creation and development of innovations.
In the relation to any innovations the big individual distinctions both between people, and between different groups are always shown. But behind this differences can be seen recurring, typical. So, it was offered to A.L. Zhuravlyov was requested to provide various types of people by their relation to innovation depending on the manifestations of the three psychological components:
- psychological readiness for innovations (a motivational component);
- readiness to ability to live in new conditions (knowledge, abilities, skills, experience, etc.);
- real activity (action, acts, activity).
Different combinations of desires, knowledge and actions have allowed A.L. Zhuravlyov to allocate following socially-psychological types of people:
- "active reformers" (wish changes, are able to work in new conditions and actively operate);
- "passive reformers" (wish, are able, but do not operate);
- "passively-positively concerning innovations" (basically wish changes, but are not able and do not operate);
- "overcoming" (are able and operate, but do not wish changes);
- "inefficient" (wish and operate, but are not able);
- "waiting" (are able, but do not wish and do not operate);
- "blind executors" (the expressed desire is not present, are not able, but operate in a direction of changes by means of others);
- "passive opponents" (do not wish, are not able and do not operate);
- "active opponents" (do not wish, are not able and act against changes) [2. P.20].
You can group employees in other ways, however, the important thing is that the various social and psychological types of people must be judged differently, and work with them in different ways. Psychologists underline, that any transformations are inefficient, if they lean against the concept of "the average unified person» or are calculated on dementalizing labor groups and social classes. Simplification of socially-psychological typology, underestimation of its importance or especially its ignoring are extremely dangerous in a situation of intensive changes [3. P.82].
M.V. Chigrinova notices, that increase of innovative potential of the person can be carried out to means of reorganization of the individual concepts which subject are requirements to personal resources of effective innovator. There are qualitative distinctions in individual concepts between successful innovators and those who evading from innovative activity. These differences are in the views of heads about their role in the innovation process, creative approach in solving innovative tasks, in the strategies of psychological effect on the team, reflecting the significance of communicative competence in professional activity [4. P.9].
To describe, explain, interpret the behavior of individuals and groups in different changes O.S. Sovietova offers the concept of innovative dispositional system of personality, or types of innovative dispositions. [5. P.85]
Investigating innovative dispositions, O.S. Sovetova according to the general dispositional concept considers them as complete system of the general and especial predispositions of the person to changes. This hierarchy has several levels: 1) an innovative synthesis of disposition; 2) estimated characteristics related to innovations in various areas of life; 3) estimated characteristics of relationships in a particular professional activity [5. P.95-96]
Results of researches have allowed O.S. Sovetovoj to draw conclusions that concrete innovative installations in professional work change more strongly under the influence of level of the generalized dispositions, than the generalized innovative disposition under the influence of concrete installations. These data testify to integrity innovative systems of dispositions [5. P.103]. At the same time, it is necessary to mean, that different levels innovative hierarchies can be independent both rather independent and unstable according to a situation in a society, in concrete professional work.
In the context of the problem deserves attention work E.A. Iskandarova, who expands the notion of innovation-oriented leader. Innovative customer focus of the head it is considered as its generalized social installation to any innovations (in general), shown in customer focus on prospects of development of the organization and collective headed by him [6].
As empirical indicators of innovative customer focus of head E.I. Iskandarov allocates the following: customer focus the head on prospects of development of the organization; the volume of time spent (average in day) on performance of the functions connected with development of achievements of scientific and technical progress, new forms of the organization and stimulation of work, the best practices; orientation of the head to socially-psychological aspects of innovations; an estimation of the role in innovation realization; innovative activity of the head.
Study of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components of the relationship managers of organizations for innovation have allowed the author to conclude that the innovative orientation of the head has a well-coordinated system of indicators. The quantity and narrowness of communication between blocks of indicators of an orientation, the personality of the head, its innovative customer focus and indicators of three components of the relation of the head to concrete innovations testify to integrity of dispositional system of the personality of the head.
Besides, as a result of the analysis of the received data, E.I. Iskandarov has allocated following factors which influence level innovative customer focus the head of collective: an orientation of the person, i.e. an involvement of the head into the activity; personal success of the head; self-realization level; presence of possibility for initiative and self-reliance; availability of the new information on innovations; an educational level and qualifications of heads.
The head of educational institution not simply realizes itself, sense of the life, making a choice between reproductive way of pedagogical activity and creativity, it will qualitatively transform himself, reinterprets the professional expectations, has possibilities for development of professionally significant qualities, searches and finds ways of the further self-improvement. Effective innovation activities can be performed only adequately personally and professionally oriented leader with the dominant motive for personal self-actualization in the professional sphere.

By David Lawder
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A major goal of the new Republican-led U.S. Congress, passing a balanced budget, could be in jeopardy amid disagreements within the party over easing constraints on defense spending.
The latest Republican feud comes less than a month after an embarrassing spat over homeland security funding and immigration. The fight pits conservatives who want to keep the "sequestration" budget caps in place against pro-military senators who say the constraints are degrading the Pentagon's technological edge and ability to fight wars.
With control of the Senate and the largest House of Representatives majority since World War II, Republicans hope to pass a full budget for the first time since 2009. It would aim to eliminate deficits within 10 years, cut federal benefits programs and lower tax rates.
But without a defense spending increase, it will lose key Republican votes in the Senate and could spark another bitter fight like last month's failed effort to use Department of Homeland Security funding to block President Barack Obama's immigration initiatives.
"I will not agree to any budget that does not stop sequestration," said Senator John McCain, a defense hawk who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, referring to the across-the-board discretionary spending caps put in place by a 2011 budget deal.
His sentiments have been echoed by Senator Lindsey Graham and other Republicans who want to lift the caps.
But conservatives say those caps are the only real savings achieved in years of budget fights and are needed to reach their goal of a balanced budget in 10 years.
"There's no way you can produce a responsible budget that doesn't put every program under review," said Senator Jeff Sessions, a senior Republican on the budget committee. "We just don't have the money."
Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte said a solution for defense funding may be include a "deficit-neutral reserve fund" that would allow spending caps to stay in place.
House Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price and Senate counterpart, Mike Enzi, plan to unveil their fiscal blueprints next week, with floor votes later this month.
They have released few details, except to say there would be similarities to past Republican budgets authored by Paul Ryan, who now chairs the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.
The budget resolutions do not carry the force of law, but are statements of policy priorities that help lawmakers shape future spending bills and the Republican Party's election platform for 2016.
